The period between 1950 and 1980 saw great literary output across various genres too, but the early twentieth century saw the revival of ‘avadhanam’ – a great literary form in Telugu. Kopparapu Sodara Kavulu – ‘the poet-brothers of Kopparam’ – were two of the foremost exponents of this form. Their talent and achievements have been described as manavatita or beyond human capacity, in the era of many janta-kavulu (pairs of poets). The prominent pairs at the time were the great Tirupati-Venkata Kavulu, Venkata-Ramakrishna Kavulu, Venkata-Parvateeswara Kavulu and Pingali-Katuri Kavulu.
